3 1. Introduction The TwinCAT Boot Project is the TwinCAT System Manager configuration that runs automatically when Windows boots up. This ensures that the machine system is always ready to run after power-up without the need for an operator to go into TwinCAT system and manually start TwinCAT System Manager and PLC program. TwinCAT V2.9.0 can be used to configure boot projects for remote TwinCAT systems, e.g. CX1000. For this reason, the procedure for creating boot projects is different when compared to older versions of TwinCAT. (V2.8.0 and earlier.) This document describes both methods for creating boot projects with TwinCAT. In addition, it is also possible to configure TwinCAT to automatically start an external application when the TwinCAT system and PLC are both up and running. Details are given in Chapter 5. Updated: 06/12/2004 Page 3 of 17 Revision: 1.1

4 2. TwinCAT System Boot Project (V2.9.0 and later) When TwinCAT V2.9.0 was introduced, it allowed boot projects to be configured for a remote TwinCAT system. This feature was introduced to ensure that it was possible to generate boot projects for CX1000s. CX1000 is shown as the target system in this chapter. To configure a boot project for the local system, simply select the local system as the target system. When the boot settings are applied to a TwinCAT system, it will remember the current operating state and subsequently boot up into this state. Therefore, the TwinCAT system and PLC MUST be running when the boot settings are updated TwinCAT System Boot Settings (V2.9.0 and later) To configure the system auto-boot settings on CX1000: 1. Select SYSTEM Configuration 2. Select the Boot Settings (Target) tab 3. Select Run Mode (Enable) 4. Select Auto Login, ticked is enabled. 5. Enter the login user name and password. 6. Click Apply NOTE: The default user name for CX1000 with WinXPembedded is Administrator and the default password is 1. CX1000 with WinCE does not have a default user name or password, and the fields should be left blank. Updated: 06/12/2004 Page 4 of 17 Revision: 1.1

5 CX1000 will ask for a valid user name and password before it will implement the requested changes. 7. Enter the login user name and password. 8. Click OK. If CX1000 accepts the change in boot settings, it will return the message below. 9. Click OK to complete the changes. Updated: 06/12/2004 Page 5 of 17 Revision: 1.1

6 2.2. TwinCAT PLC Boot Settings (V2.9.0 and later) To configure the PLC auto-boot settings on CX1000: 1. Select PLC Configuration. 2. Select the PLC Settings (Target) tab. 3. Specify the Number of Run-Times that must start automatically at boot-up. 4. In the Boot Project window, select the PLC Run-Time systems that must start automatically at boot-up. Ticked is enabled. 5. Click Apply. CX1000 will ask for a user name and password to implement the requested changes. 6. Enter the login user name and password. 7. Click OK. Updated: 06/12/2004 Page 6 of 17 Revision: 1.1

7 If CX1000 accepts the change in boot settings, it will return the message below. 8. Click OK to complete the changes. Updated: 06/12/2004 Page 7 of 17 Revision: 1.1

8 3. TwinCAT System Boot Project (V2.8.0 and earlier) NOTE: This section describes how to create a System Boot Project in older versions of TwinCAT (V2.8.0 and earlier) for the LOCAL PC only. To generate a boot project for a remote TwinCAT system, e.g. CX1000, TwinCAT V2.9.0 is required. Please refer to Chapter 2, TwinCAT System Boot Project (V2.9.0 and later) on page 4. When the boot settings are applied to the local TwinCAT system, it will remember the current operating state and subsequently boot up into this state. Therefore, the TwinCAT system and PLC MUST be running when the boot settings are updated. The TwinCAT system is running if the TwinCAT system icon in the system tray in the bottom right hand corner of the screen is green. 1. Right click on the TwinCAT icon ( ) in the system tray 2. Select Properties Updated: 06/12/2004 Page 8 of 17 Revision: 1.1

9 3.1. TwinCAT System Boot Settings (V2.8.0 and earlier) To configure the System Boot Project: 1. Select the System tab. 2. Select Enable as the Auto Boot option. (See note below.) 3. Select Auto Logon, enabled if the box is ticked. 4. Enter the User Name for the PC. 5. Enter the logon password. 6. Click Apply to make settings take effect. NOTE: the screen capture shown has been taken from TwinCAT V2.9. The Auto Boot option may vary slightly for older versions of TwinCAT, but it must still be enabled if the TwinCAT system is to start automatically at boot-up. Updated: 06/12/2004 Page 9 of 17 Revision: 1.1

10 3.2. TwinCAT PLC Boot Settings (V2.8.0 and earlier) To configure the PLC Boot Project settings: 1. Select the PLC tab. 2. Specify how many PLC Run-Time systems must start automatically at boot-up. 3. Specify the folder where the boot project is stored. It is strongly recommended that the default folder be used. (See note below for more details.) 4. Select the Run-Time systems that must start automatically at system boot-up. 5. Click Apply to make the changes take effect NOTE: TwinCAT will copy the current system configuration into the specified boot directory under the name CurrentConfig.tsm. The directory where the TwinCAT System Manager configuration was developed should NOT be used as the boot project directory. It is strongly recommended that the boot project and development TwinCAT System Manager projects should be kept in separate directories. The boot project in the boot directory also acts as a back-up file, as it opened by TwinCAT System Manager if the original development file is lost for any reason. Updated: 06/12/2004 Page 10 of 17 Revision: 1.1

11 4. TwinCAT PLC Boot Project (All versions) When the TwinCAT system has booted up and started running, the PLC program must also be configured to start automatically. TwinCAT PLC must be online and the PLC program must be running before the PLC Boot Project is created. The TwinCAT PLC is running if the status shown in the bottom right of the TwinCAT PLC window is ONLINE, and RUN is shown in green. To create the PLC boot project: 1. Select Online 2. Select Create Bootproject TwinCAT PLC will create the PLC boot project for the selected run-time system. If the system requires multiple run-time systems, steps 1 and 2 above must be repeated for each run-time PLC system. When all PLC boot projects have been created, the TwinCAT System Manager and PLC should both run automatically when the PC boots up. Updated: 06/12/2004 Page 11 of 17 Revision: 1.1

12 5. Running External Applications at Boot-up Applications that access TwinCAT System Manager and TwinCAT PLC using ActiveX, DLL or OPC need TwinCAT to be up and running before they are started. This can be achieved by placing a link to the application in the TwinCAT StartUp folder. TwinCAT will start up the application once the system and PLC program are active Create Shortcut to External Application To add a program to the TwinCAT StartUp folder, open the following folder: 1. Documents and Settings 2. All Users 3. Start Menu 4. Programs 5. TwinCAT System 6. StartUp Updated: 06/12/2004 Page 12 of 17 Revision: 1.1

17 5.2. File Location for External Application The executable file for the external application must NOT be located in a sub-folder of the folder linked to the My Documents icon on the desktop, or any other folder that is dependant on the login user name on the PC. The best method is to create a new folder from the root of the C: or D: disk drive, and use this as the project folder. To check the folder linked to My Documents : 1. Right click on the My Documents icon on the Desktop The folder linked with My Documents is shown in the Target folder location window. Updated: 06/12/2004 Page 17 of 17 Revision: 1.1
